Summer Bedroom Refresh

Can I just do a quick Brain Dump over this space?

  • It amazes me how a couple of changes can completely transform a space.
  • I don’t understand how I can love one look for a month and then be ready for something totally different a couple of months later.
  • I really hate our carpet in the bedroom. Can I please just rip it up?
  • I can’t believe how much I used to spend on things like bedroom furniture. It’s so much cheaper to piece things together…and more fun, imo.
  • I’m amazed at how much brighter our room is now.
  • Getting rid of our bed frame has made the room feel so much bigger.

Okay, I know that was random, but sometimes, it’s just best to put down what you’re thinking in the simplest way possible.

My master bedroom has been a constant “in progress” project. Just when I think I may actually have something I like…I don’t like it. I think I’ve finally figured out what’s been the problem. I was trying to fit too much in this space. The last bedroom refresh I did in this space was just a few months ago. Benjamin did the shiplap accent wall (still love!), I painted the top part a dark green, and we got a rug. The room felt so dark. And that’s just not my cup of tea. I wanted to brighten the space up.

Enter Wunderwall. They sent me a message on Instagram and asked if I’d be interested in trying out any of their peel and stick wallpaper. I took a gander at what they had to offer and replied, “Yes, please!”. Because there was one pattern that really caught my eye. It was bright and cheery and exactly what my room needed for the summer.

Hello, oranges! Thank you for brightening up my bedroom. I also ditched my bedroom rug and got a more neutral one. Oh, and I took out our bedroom furniture and got a little creative. I know that’s not for everyone, but I really do love it. Our night stands were big and bulky and I was able to pull cabinets I had in other spots. I also like that they are white and, yep, brighten up the room! lol

Let’s check out a before picture.

The Before. It’s not that it was bad. I was just ready for a change. 🙂

And the After.

The After! Bedroom furniture is out, new peel and stick wallpaper, new rug, and I took down the window and added this frame.

Let’s talk about the peel and stick process. I’ve used peel and stick one other time and the Wunderwall peel and stick was much easier! First, you tell them the dimensions of the space and they send you what you need with a little extra for error. This is awesome because the brand I used last time came in a prepackaged box and I ran out. I had just a little bit more to go and I had to buy a whole new box to finish the project.

I also liked the back of the Wunderwall peel and stick. It comes off in little strips so you aren’t hanging a large piece that has the stickiness completely exposed, if that makes sense. And I love that they offer a textured canvas option, which is what I chose. They also offer a smooth surface, if that’s what you prefer. 🙂

Here’s a couple more views of the finished space. 🙂
